   1. A. Toward the kerb
   2. B. Away from the kerb

   1. A. Toward the kerb
   2. B. Straight ahead
   3. C. Away from the kerb

   Turning away means a rolling vehicle backs into the kerb rather than into the road.

   1. A. Straight ahead
   2. B. Toward the edge of the road

   2. B. Rely on the transmission alone
